-Many of the first comics were simply sketches drawn by [[Randall]] on the paper he had at hand, (sometimes during a [[7:_Girl_sleeping_(Sketch_--_11th_grade_Spanish_class)|class]] or a [[24: Godel, Escher, Kurt Halsey|lecture]]).

+Among the [[LiveJournal#Comics posted on LiveJournal before xkcd.com|41 comics posted on LiveJournal]] before xkcd.com, 35 were drawn on checkered paper. The one which ended up with the highest number on [https://xkcd.com xkcd.com] is [[44: Love]], released on LiveJournal on October 19, 2005. However, [[39: Bowl]] was released about two weeks later, on December 5, 2005, and is thus the last LiveJournal comic drawn on checkered paper. For more information, see [[LiveJournal#Comics posted on LiveJournal before xkcd.com|LiveJournal]].
-*No comics drawn on such paper have been released after [[:Category:First day on xkcd.com|the first day on xkcd.com]] when the web site opened on Sunday the 1st of January 2006.
+After the new site opened on January 1, 2006, three new comics drawn on checkered paper were released. The first two were released on the [[LiveJournal#First day on xkcd.com|first day of xkcd.com]] and the third was inserted a few months later. [[12: Poisson]] and [[5: Blown apart]] were exclusively published on the first day of [https://xkcd.com xkcd.com] and were never posted on LiveJournal. [[36: Scientists]] was instead initially published as a duplicate of comic [[10: Pi Equals]]. Over three months after the original posting, Randall noticed the error and corrected it sometime between [https://web.archive.org/web/20060423175703/http://www.xkcd.com/c36.html April 23, 2006] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20060705231511/http://xkcd.com/c36.html July 5, 2006], when the updated version appeared in the Web Archive. He likely found an old drawing that was never meant for publication and used it instead, so it wouldn't appear out of place among the other comics from that period. Since these three were the last checkered-paper comics to be released, [[36: Scientists]] is the last comic to ever come out on this type of paper.
-**Of those comics [[44: Love]] from October 19th, 2005 is the one with the highest number released on xkcd.
-***But it was an early comic which just got the highest number when all the comics transfer from [[LiveJournal]] to xkcd got a new and different number.
+In 2012, Randall revived the blue grid as the background for his blog ''[[what if? (blog)|what if?]]'', but the site was redesigned in 2022. [https://web.archive.org/web/20220323082952/https://what-if.xkcd.com/ This is what the site looked like] before the redesign, which removed the background image in favour of a [https://what-if.xkcd.com/ simple color].
